SubjectUnable to handle kernel paging request in 2.6.16-rc1-mm4
From
Date
Just a "heads up" because I haven't found reference to this in the ia64
nor kernel lists. Maybe just happens on my platform?

I'm seeing this on an HP rx8620 [16xIA64, 4 NUMA nodes, 32GB], booting
subject kernel. Log excerpts:

Eventually the boot hangs...

I did a bisection search of the mm4 broken out patches and isolated the
problem to the "export-cpu-topology-by-sysfs" patches. I.e., if I
comment these out, builds and boots fine [with a one-liner build fix
from Christoph Lameter for an SGI sn pci source file]. Something
overstepping a slab allocation? Still investigating.

Regards,
Lee
